Good Samaritan Society: Staffing Failures - NE

Healthcare Facility
Good Samaritan Society - Bloomfield
Bloomfield, NE  ·  3/5 stars

The facility's single housekeeper, identified in inspection records as ESS-F, was pulled to work as a nursing assistant on September 22. That left cleaning duties to maintenance and laundry staff, neither of whom operated from any schedule. When a state inspector asked the administrator on September 29 who had cleaned what, the administrator couldn't answer. The administrator confirmed there was no housekeeping schedule in place.

Maintenance staff gave the same answer. A maintenance worker confirmed the facility was unsure what rooms had been cleaned between September 21 and September 27.

The cleaning gap wasn't the only problem inspectors found. The facility's census had climbed from 27 residents to 35, and call light response times had gotten longer as a result. The administrator acknowledged the problem directly and said a Performance Improvement Plan had been started to address it.

The facility was also short on staff. Open shifts were being filled with agency and pool nursing workers, but not all available shifts had been covered.

The administrator said the facility was reviewing each new admission individually to determine whether it could actually meet that resident's needs, a sign that leadership recognized the gap between current capacity and current demand.

Inspectors cited the violations under F0725, which covers sufficient staffing, and noted that many residents were affected. The level of harm was classified as minimal harm or potential for actual harm.

As of the inspection date, the facility had not resolved its staffing shortfall, had no housekeeping schedule, and was still working to fill open shifts with temporary workers.
